The network said the lineup includes the 10 candidates who polled best before the first Republican debate in August, plus Carly Fiorina, who has since cracked the top 10.
The list of candidates who will debate on Thursday, Sept. 16, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Southern California, includes:

Donald Trump
Jeb Bush
Scott Walker
Ben Carson
Ted Cruz
Marco Rubio
Mike Huckabee
Rand Paul
John Kasich
Chris Christie
Carly Fiorina
The candidates who did not make the cut for the prime-time platform and who will participate in an earlier televised debate include:
Rick Perry
Rick Santorum
Bobby Jindal
George Pataki
Lindsey Graham
Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, who participated in the Fox News debate on Aug. 6, did not meet CNN’s requirements to earn at least 1% support in three polls conducted during a two-month period leading up to the debate.
